Here, we break down Boise State vs Wyoming and make our pick for this contest as well.

Boise State Looks to Hold Onto CFP Bye Position

When the most recent College Football Playoff rankings were released, the Boise State Broncos were a top-four seed and recipients of a first-round bye slot. That was a product of BYU losing to Kansas last week and Boise State jumping over the top team in the Big 12 in the rankings. This week, Boise State will look to stay unbeaten in the Mountain West to keep their hold on that top-four seeding for another week. But it isn't enough for Boise State to win against Wyoming, they will likely need to run up the score to make sure that they don't slide in the rankings for just sneaking by a subpar opponent in the Mountain West.

Wyoming Must Stop the Run to Hang With Boise

Wyoming is just 2-8 overall this season and 2-4 in the Mountain West Conference. The Cowboys are coming off of a 24-10 loss to Colorado State, who joins Boise State as the only other team with an unbeaten record in Mountain West Conference play. And while that game was respectable from Wyoming, the Cowboys defense will face a much tougher test against Boise State, as Wyoming has to find a way to slow down Heisman Trophy contender Ashton Jeanty on the ground to have a chance this week.
